Thanks for the suggestions!

Anyone know of some Dallas or other Texas scenery?

Or, what program I can use to make my own? Grin

Did you search the Simviation library for Dallas or Texas sceneries?

Here.

If there is nothing to find (highly unlikely) there might be something of your likings here.

Very first question to ask, HolmesFans, is surely, "What do you currently most enjoy doing in FS"?

Short hops, instrument flying, record-breaking, high speed stuff, routine 'train driver' airline stuff, round-world trips...........?

It's a big field. The best thing about FS is that you can 'try' almost anything.

Please give us an idea of what you currently enjoy doing best, and we can all offer good advice......?

Looks like a possible CG problem there - a purely visual observation
